I don’t have to be the one to tell you all about how much better all genres of music sound on vinyl. It’s warmer, uncompressed, but I’m not an expert https:\/\/www.soundguys.com\/vinyl-better-than-streaming-20654\/<\/a> These guys can explain in detail why digital music became compressed and why vinyl is an better listening experience (and it’s drawbacks, but if you found this place you already know what makes vinyl sound great)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My passion isn’t all about the sound, its not about the tone, the compression, I’m not an “audiophile”. I love music. ALL music. All genres, all eras, good music, bad music. I love every last sound as the artists created them. I want to preserve those sounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collecting, sharing and distributing music on analog is a kind of critical effort for me. I want to preserve reality. Preserve the sounds, the notes the way they are. I foresee a digital future where analog has disappeared, and I fear a digital future where the works of art can be manipulated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a future day when no more analog copies of the Beatles “White Album” exist. No original works of art to compare to the digital version. Entities with abilities and rights to change the sounds. “Happiness is a warm gun” too hot for current sensibilities? Well the song is now “Happiness is a Warm Sausage” Complete with deep fake new lyrics. The chords to “While my Guitar Gently Weeps” don’t match the current algorithm for what makes pop hit? No problem, erase all the real versions of it, and replace it with a more upbeat modern and algorithmic approved chord progression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who will be able to say that wasn’t how the song always was or was meant to be? People preserving analog copies of music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451” book were banned, those who recognized the importance of the thoughts, knowledge and art within set out to each memorize one book. To become a living record, so it could be recorded again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All we have to do is collect records.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
